Portugal does well in the Euros, not the WC! This is not their tuff, expect Ghana to sneak in. US has a splendid coach but I doubt the players are up there.

I expect Belgium to surprise - they are well-rounded with quality players across the pitch. And Chile with Suarez but they play a one-touch passing game that's refreshing to watch.

Brazil are not very good anymore and together with France got very lucky draws which will work in their favor. From there expect home advantage to propel Brazil all the way to the final but France who knows, they might run into Italy or Germany along the way.

But I'm glad to see you guys talking about Brazil and the world cup.
Brazil has got some big issues but I love this place.

Pretty sure that all the foreign that come to BR will have a great time !
Most of the cases I heard of foreigns getting into trouble were stupid people that went after drugs or prostitutes and then got robbed.

Come to Brazil, but know where are you going and what you are dealing with.

Regarding soccer:
If Brazil gets to the finals, it will be against spain.
